Pearl Abyss has announced a new sales milestone for Crimson Desert, its open-world action RPG, which launched last March. It’s now at over six million copies sold, shifting an additional million-plus since April 15th.
“Your adventures and tales continue to make the journey of Crimson Desert even more special. Once again, thank you to every Greymane who has stepped into Pywel and experienced the world of Crimson Desert in their own way,” it wrote on Twitter.
And while “journey” isn’t something that you would typically associate with a one-and-done single-player experience, it’s more about the post-launch support. Pearl Abyss has released almost weekly updates since release, adding several new features, improving core systems, addressing performance issues, and much more.
These include new mounts, new abilities for Oongka and Damian, new mini-games like Pinball and the Crane Game, individual storage chests for different items, and much more. It really is too much to list, and there’s even more on the way between June and September, with plans to add New Game Plus and cross-save. The development team is even taking a stab at improving the story, which remains the game’s biggest weak point.
And if that wasn’t enough, DLC is also in the works. Nothing is known about it, whether it’s the cost, what new content it brings or when it will launch, but we’re excited all the same.
Crimson Desert is available for Xbox Series X/S, PS5, and PC. Check out our re-review here, though keep in mind that it doesn’t even cover all the updates released thus far.
